And if you think Banaue is amazing, wait 'til you get up to Sagada. Too bad I hadn't had a chance to take a picture of the cloud slabs and thick fog of high Sagada. I was so disappointed of myself for that. Maybe it's a sign I that I have to go back there someday. Anyway, here's a different deep part of Sagada through my camera lens. Let's dive into Sumaguing Cave and the hanging burial mounds of Ifugao ancestors.

| You might not see it clearly but rocks inside Sumaguing Cave are covered with batshit that if you are a clean-freak, it will definitely make you |

| These are the Sagada tombs inside the cave of Lumiang. They are stacked against the wall. Some of it so high that you'll wonder how it got there. |
We had limited time in Sagada. We prioritized the Sumaguing Cave, Underground River inside Sumaguing, the Hanging Tombs in Lumiang Cave. The places I would want to visit next time would be:
- Bumod-Ok Falls
- Pongas Falls
- Kiltepan Sea of Clouds (MOST SPECIALLY THIS!)
- and the Sagada Underground River
Banaue and Sagada are near each other in terms of location so the food is similar. However in Sagada they have a coffee house in the clouds that serves super strong coffee. You might want to try that.
